Avoid Verizon's broadband wireless in favor of Sprint's.
Last year, Verizon's "unlimited" broadband wireless plan was changed to a monthly cap of 5GB, with stiff usage charges for anything above that. Although 5GB sounds like a lot, if you're using the thing constantly (as I am), it's not difficult to go over the limit.
I ended up getting a Sprint broadband USB wireless modem. Sprint's plan really is unlimited bandwidth, and their USB wireless modem works on PCs, Macintoshes, and Linux machines.
